RE: [api-dev] Suppressing Future Version and Recovery Dialog Boxes
Hi, It seems that perhaps -norestore does work. but i'm not sure -headless can remove update dialog boxes if u open a OO3.0 file using OO 2.4. It'll be great if someone can verify this. I've tried it using a cmd prompt with soffice.exe -headless document name and it suppresses perfectly. However if i first start the soffice instance with headless using createprocess and then bootstrap and loadcomponentwithurl, it doesn't work. Anyway, I believe the first start registration wizard can be prevented by editing the setup.xcu file to include the license date and filling in yes to OOsetupcompleted.

[api-dev] Suppressing Future Version and Recovery Dialog Boxes
Hi all, I'm trying to read some files programmatically with OO v2.4.x.

RE: [api-dev] loadcomponentfromurl
Hi all, Thanks for your responses. Let's assume that indeed those files are not legitimate .doc files. If someone creates a text file and renames it as .doc, the Writer encoding text dialog will pop out a UI. If I do choose a encoding such as UTF-8, it will be able to open the text file with no problems and the text will be readable. This is what i want to do programatically, to open with a specified encoding without using the pop-out UI. Is it possible to do this?

Sounds strange. The type detection works well and the correct filter is detected as I understand. The problem here, is that the mentioned filters need character encoding, thus the FilterOptions dialog ( not Unknown file format dialog ) is shown. i don't think so. A valid .doc file is auto detected and the word filter doesn't have a filter options dialog as far as i know. It looks more like the scenario that Ariel has described. Sorry, I was wrong in my last comment. Indeed the text filter still wins sometimes by unknown formats, although actually the filter selection dialog should be shown. And MSWord filter has no filter options dialog. Maybe a complete code snippet could help to understand ... It is probably more interesting to take a look to the document.

I suspect that you are using loadComponentFromURL(), in this case you can provide the InteractionHandler in the MediaDescriptor, the InteractionHandler would handle the document password request in this case. If the standard InteractionHandler implementation is provided to the call, the password dialog would be shown to user. You can also provide an own simple InteractionHandler implementation, that could for example detect whether document password request was done on loading ( that means that the document is encrypted one ). In the same way other problems during the loading could be handled. Hope that helps. Best regards, Mikhail.

Hi Tora, Thanks for your replies and suggestions. However, I do not want to start soffice.exe as a normal user account as I would need the user account password or wait for a user logon. I realised the problem running a OO service as SYSTEM is that: the service runs as a special account and OpenOffice.org will try to show the license agreement dialog as if it was a new user instead of starting the application. To avoid this, you need to edit share\registry\data\org\openoffice\Setup.xcu (it's an XML file) inside the OpenOffice.org installation directory and replace this bit This is the article that explains it: http://www.artofsolving.com/node/11 Cheers, Wei Min Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2009 20:09:00 +0900 From: t...@openoffice.org To: d...@openoffice.org CC: dev@api.openoffice.org Subject: [api-dev] Re: [dev] Openoffice automation using a service Sorry for multiple emails.

But I am just not able to get it programatically, I also lose that formatting when i save it as a ODT file. Am I doing something wrong or there are just some compatability issues with MS documents? Would this be updated with future versions of the sdk? I am currently using 3.1. Thanks.

[api-dev] How to enumerate text document by pages?
Basically i want to get the header of every page. I can get HeaderText, HeaderTextLeft, and HeaderTextRight. However, there may be additional headers for different sections. How can i enumerate through a text document by pages to check its individual header? I tried using construct XIndexAccess using a XDocument but it doesn't seem to work. Also, I've tried using XTextCursor, but it doesn't seem to have a gotopage method. Thanks.

[api-dev] How to get footer of presentation slide?
Hi all, 1) I was wondering how i can access the footer of presentation slides? Sample: Reference XDrawPagesSupplier rDrawDoc(xcomponent, UNO_QUERY); Reference XDrawPages rDrawPages = rDrawDoc-getDrawPages(); Reference XNameAccess rNameAccess (rDrawPages, UNO_QUERY); Reference XNameContainerxNameContainer(rNameAccess-getByName(OUString::CreateFromAscii(PageStyles)), UNO_QUERY); Reference XStyle xStyle(xNameContainer-getByName(OUString::CreateFromAscii(default)), UNO_QUERY); Reference XPropertySet xStyleProps(xStyle, UNO_QUERY); Reference XText xtxt(xStyleProps-getPropertyValue(OUString::CreateFromAscii(FooterText)), UNO_QUERY) ; OUString footer = xtxt- getString(); However, rNameAccess doesn't seem to have an element that is called PageStyles. I tried: Sequence OUString xSeq = rNameAccess - getElemenetNames(); but this doesn't seem to populate the xSeq properly. 2) How can i get element names or property names of an object? 3) Also, How can I do it so that i iterate through and check the footer of every page because the pages seem to be of Any type rather than something NameAccess can handle? Reference XIndexAccess rPageIndexAccess(rDrawPages, UNO_QUERY); Any DrawPage = rPageIndexAccess-getByIndex(0); Thanks _ Share your memories online with anyone you want. http://www.microsoft.com/singapore/windows/windowslive/products/photos-share.aspx?tab=1
